--------------------------------------------------------------------- The problem is, everyone on slashdot would rather just complain on slashdot instead of actually writing thier representative a well worded letter.
I was actually thinking about this the other day. What about a slashdot sponsered letter writing compaign that gave people a tangible reward for writing a good letter to thier congress(wo)man.
They could have everyone write an email about what really matter to them, any topic, preferably a technological one as thats what scores points around here. Then have them mail them to thier representative and CC a copy to contest@slashdot.org as well as post it as a comment. Say, 10 highest rated letters win a free subscription (however many page views that is). The cost would be negligable, but the impact of tons of well worded emails coming from intellegent people would have an amazing impact. So, editors, what do YOU think? --btw, the letters should be worded better than this post. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Further to add my two cents
Answers sought How to act in a democracy?
Whom to put your views so that they are heard?
Get organized in an informal or formal way to protest?
